This Artmaster cachet First Day Cover features the 10¢ Battle of Bunker Hill stamp issued June 17, 1975, in Charlestown, Massachusetts. The postmark ties the cover directly to the historic site of the battle, with the stamp reproducing John Trumbull’s famous painting of the engagement.
The Battle of Bunker Hill, fought on June 17, 1775, was one of the earliest and bloodiest clashes of the American Revolution. Though technically a British victory, the heavy casualties inflicted by colonial militia proved that American forces could stand against professional troops, boosting morale and resolve throughout the colonies.
The cachet depicts both the Bunker Hill Monument and a dramatic battle scene, while the stamp itself is part of the U.S. Bicentennial series. The cover is addressed to Dillsburg, Pennsylvania, a small town with its own Revolutionary-era roots.
A strong addition for collectors of American Revolutionary War or Bicentennial topicals, this well-centered FDC remains in excellent condition with a crisp first-day cancel.
